Viewing the Gardens through the keen eyes and sharp lenses of the Photography Group exhibitors reveals many rare and remarkable sights, some too fast to follow and some too small to spot any other way – hence this year's exhibition theme 'Treasures'. Come and see the Gardens as you've never seen them before!

The exhibition will display over 50 framed works, as well as unframed prints and many beautiful cards, all produced from photographs taken of the flora and fauna of the Gardens and the wider surrounds.

Wednesday, 20 November 2019 – 9:30am to Sunday, 8 December 2019 – 4:30pm, in the ANBG Visitor Centre.
